4. Chaze: Also called tea tray, its main function is to dig out the soaked tea leaves. After the tea leaves are soaked, they are often tightly stuffed by the teapot. In addition, the mouth of the teapot is not big, and it is inconvenient and unsanitary to dig out the tea by hand, so Chaze is used. Tea can also be stirred into the teapot with a teaspoon, so it is called a tea paddle.

5. Tea clip: Tea clip, also called "tea shovel", has the same function as that of Chaze. It can take tea dregs out of the pot, and some people often use it to wash cups, holding them in their arms, which is anti-scalding and hygienic.

6. Tea needle: The function of the tea needle is to dredge the inner network (honeycomb) of the teapot and keep the water flowing smoothly. When the spout is blocked by tea leaves, it is used for dredging, or after the tea leaves are put in, the tea leaves are mixed evenly, the broken tea is at the bottom and the whole tea is on the table.
